This is an in-depth analysis of how the Gewehr 98 rifle for the Scout class in Battlefield 1 compares to the real-life German rifle.
4/25/2020 update: Transcribed English closed captions are now available.
The Gewehr 98 was a bolt-action rifle was designed by Peter Paul Mauser and adopted by the German military in 1898. It was considered to be the ultimate evolution of the Mauser action and even today most commercial bolt-action rifles derive their bolt design from the Gewehr 98. It was strong, robust, and smooth, and was a master class of rifle design. Most nations on earth ended up buying, licensing, or otherwise ripping off Mauser designs, and they were the most common rifles in the world until the advent of the AK.
The Battlefield 1 depiction of the G98 might not be amazingly realistic, but the weapon in-game is satisfying to use and is a highly effective weapon for the Scout class.

@geoechidna Год назад

Haha ironically this is a pretty terrible game when it comes to historical accuracy, but yeah it at least gives you the motivation to learn about the real thing. By chance I signed up for a History of WWI class the same year this game came out and no joke, the class and game together made me appreciate the subject a lot more.

@SHmoogleThe1st Год назад

@@geoechidna For sure, my interest in war history started with CoD World at War, then a few years later BF1 came out, even if they aren't accurate in gameplay or other areas, they sure are immersive and make people think about what these war were irl, and so people search info on them.

I think probably the most realistic depiction of the gewehr 98 and WW1 in general is Verdun. I’ve played that game a lot and I’m amazed at how close to history and accurate that game is. It even got the sights on the Gewehr 98 right unlike battlefield. It’s a shame it’s a very underrated game especially since it’s very well made.

@geoechidna 3 года назад

@notnotagoodguy9600 3 года назад

Out of the very few games that have this rifle in it I've only seen I that got the sight correct

@geoechidna 3 года назад

Yeah it’s most likely rendered that way for a reason; the actual G98 sight picture is pretty jank and BF1’s irons are way easier to use. I would prefer if they were correct though tbh.

@notnotagoodguy9600 3 года назад

@@geoechidna yeah I understand they do it for gameplay reasons, especially since the sight is so big in the first place.

@theeddies 3 года назад

Nice job. But how are you doing that fast cycle in the game? A couple times it looked like it was doing a straight pull where your eyes stayed on the sights. Excellent analysis, I have shot one a few times and everything you said is spot on.

@geoechidna 3 года назад

Thanks! The footage where the player character didn't remove his eyes from the sights was probably the clip at 1:30, where I was using the M.95 rifle rather than the G98. Yeah the 98 was pretty great, I still miss this one (I sold it to get that M1, so it was still a tradeoff I am mostly fine with).

@theeddies 3 года назад

@@geoechidna The M1 is a much better rifle but a handful. I traded one for an WW2 M1 carbine and a interwar SMLE, I don't regret it but they have gone up in price since. That makes since with the M.95.

Lol I’m not THAT young, I played Allied Assault back in 2007. :P But the Gewehr 98 wasn’t in that game. You’re thinking of the Kar98k, basically the ‘30s carbine version of the G98 long rifle you see in this video.

@hunter5502000 4 года назад

My last rifle was a model 1917, definitely been considering a Gewehr 98.

@geoechidna 4 года назад

Man, I'm envious. I'd love a 1917. You probably have the better gun anyways. I really like the G98, but you may as well just get the later models like the Kar98b, Kar98k, or even the Czech Mausers if you plan on shooting it. The older these things get the more likely something will be broken, I've learned. You can't beat the G98 for the history, though.

@hunter5502000 4 года назад

@@geoechidna That's mainly why I want the Gewehr 98. I almost bought a Gew. 88 the last time I went to a pawn shop. Eventually I'll have both the Gew. 98 and the Kar98 so its just a matter of which comes first.

@brandonmorel2658 3 года назад

The Gewehr 98 in this game is really a work of art. I have 8000 kills with the infantry variant and its really damn good, it just goes to show how much though DICE put for players in this game, and they ruined all of this in BFV with small ass and accurate renditions of iron sights, which is stupid, try to shoot with small iron sights that blend in with the background, its impossible. I deleted BFV yesterday because of how much nostalgia of better times the game was giving me. I dont know if BF2042 is going to be better, the matter with the specialists and cosmetic shit is so unbecoming of what Battlefield really is and I'm getting worried about that but maybe it is the Battlefield game fans have been waiting for, I don't know. What do you think, Echidna?

@geoechidna 3 года назад

BFV was pretty much equally inaccurate regarding representation of iron sights tbh. I think what makes BFV's aiming harder is restricting your zoom with irons to like 1.5 or so; in BF1 you can have 2x zoom. Honestly I'm pretty stoked about BF 2042. BFV was pretty much 50/50 disappointing/awesome and I was never as hostile towards it as some people in the fanbase were despite its glaring issues. I'm not even a big "modern war" game guy but the trailer for 2042 looks totally sick. I have faith this one will be good. DICE had more time to work on it and its avoiding needless dumb controversies this time around. It's pretty much #1 on my most hyped-for games list.

@brandonmorel2658 3 года назад

@@geoechidna I'm kind of hyped for 2042, DICE ditching the semi serious feel of the last 2 games and embracing the Michael Bay antics is a fresh move and pairs well with the the Only In Battlefield moments the franchise known for. It will possibly be good and all, there are this things that sound really bad, like seasons and battle passes, which is just another excuse for them to not release substantial content like maps for long periods of time, like in BFV, and monetize a 60 dollar while exploiting the guys that buy it. The other thing that sounds weird to me is how they are taking out the class system and replacing it with specialist who have perks that make specific gadgets more viable, I dont know about that. We will see when the game releases.

@geoechidna 3 года назад

Yeah I’m not too hot on the class system either, but maybe it’ll be fine. Either way if I have a PS5 by then it’s definitely a week 1 purchase. If it’s turns out to be absolutely awful that gives me a few buffer days to decide lol.

@Jarod-te2bi 2 года назад

What’s the maximum distance you can hit a bottle or can or target that size with this rifle.

@geoechidna 2 года назад

Honestly I’m not an amazing shot and the rifle itself is like 6 MOA, so maybe I could break a bottle a 50 yards with a few tries? I can’t be mad, it was a century-old rifle.

@Jarod-te2bi Год назад

Thanks for responding

@kawashimaarisaka2682 2 месяца назад

The roller coaster sight is good looking and unique for Gew 98 but a downside for the real combat use. The Verdun/Tannenberg Gew 98 is more realistic. I personally hate the rear sight of the Gew 98, Although it is really beautifully made. I have a Danzig Gew 98 in collection. It is one of my best looking and well made Mil Surplus. But If I have to pick up a bolt action to WW1 battlefield. My first choice would still be the SMLE, and then the Arisaka T38, after that would be Springfield. The Gew 98 would only be lying in front of the Mosin and Lebel.

@geoechidna Месяц назад

Yeah the 98 pattern sights tend to be mediocre. Even a U-notch with post is a thousand times better than the V-notch and front blade. And yeah that’s a good list. If possible I’d prefer a Swedish m/94 carbine but any Mauser carbine would be fine for me.

@peraperic7741 Год назад

As a gun nut ;) . 6:51 The animations are not that good and accurate. If you go to 6:51 slow the video at 0.25 speed. Crearly you can see when chycling the bolt he does not pull the bolt all the way backwards. Irl. if you do that empty caseing will not eject and new round cant be picked up. Even that you can see at the animation he pulls the bolt backwards but he doesn't pull it all the way and you can se the round not ejecting,and he rechambers that same not ejected round in the barrel. Thats for bolt cycle animation. For empty reload 7:07 animation he pulls the bolt all the way back thanks to god. But when entering the clip with 5 rounds you can see the 6th round poping out the magazine of the gun. And he puts a clip of 5 rounds over that 6rh round. Animation according to me is bad made i more like to use m1903 in the game becouse it haves better animations.

@geoechidna Год назад

I mean, if you have to play at the game at .25 speed to find flaws in the animation, it’s not that big of a deal.

@dewayner5388 4 года назад

I’m curious if you would prefer a more realistic kind of game. That is, one with crappy sights on a rifle like this, that gets caught up easily, recoils like a mule kick and can’t be shot with any sort of accuracy from a standing position. Part of my brain likes the idea but I can’t help but think it would be unbearable unless it was literally the next Soulsborne game.

@geoechidna 4 года назад

Haha I might complain a lot but I already know I wouldn't enjoy a "realistic" game more than BF1. I've seen footage of Verdun and have played Hell Let Loose, and while I won't knock the quality of that game I personally find it to be infuriatingly fucking hard. I can only die so many times in 30 minutes before I leave the game in frustration. I personally really, REALLY like the semi-realistic mechanics in BF1. They're like the perfect mix of arcadey fun and realistic. Even BFV didn't get it quite right IMO.

@dewayner5388 4 года назад

Monotrematic Studios Yeah I suspect I would feel the same, even if I sometimes think I’d enjoy something very realistic. I think I like the concept more than I would any actual game
